Another rave review for Immortality's Caress 2

It's been a looooog week me. I'm suffering the affects of a flu-- it's winter here in Australia--and I'm not at all productive. I'm working on completing Sophia's Release, the third book for Immortality's Caress, my historical vampire series, and more... Today I received some exciting news, which pepped me up. *Sneezes & grins* Below is a snippet from the latest review for Eloise's Awakening. I've pasted the blurb for those who have not read this work, to give you an idea before reading the review snippet. Much thanks to Tj at The Romance Studio for making my day brighter. :)

Book Blurb: 18 + reading

Note: Although this work is primarily a heterosexual erotic romance there is one f/f scene. Historical/ Paranormal/Erotic Romance. Set in Baroque France, 1688

Eloise de Mann is over a hundred years old. She is vivacious, spirited, rather eccentric and somewhat gauche, for a vampire. Her past hurts have her steering clear of the male species, with the exception of a few select immortals, and her incompetent guardian Claude.

Eloise loathes coffins and will only use one when necessary, so naturally she’s outraged when she awakens in one, knowing her male guardian has betrayed her. She climbs from the coffin in a right state, but hang nails, disheveled hair and a wrinkled, musty-scented gown, are the least of her problems!

Upon entering her home, Eloise finds that an Englishman, Lord Christian Montgomery, has taken up residence there. Luckily for him, the deafening voice of reason, Queen Claudia’s, forbids Eloise to harm him in any way! Her only option is to seduce him.

This pair battle over more than mere possessions…Come taste the second scorching installment of Immortality’s Caress.

Eloise is a strong female character in this sequel and she meets her match in Christian. Christian goes about enticing Eloise in ways she never thought possible. She only wants this man out of her home, but something more is at work here. The setting, dialogue, and characters are thoughtfully brought to life. The research Ms. Martin has done is apparent in this work and makes the reader feel as if they are really in Venice or France. The erotic elements add heat to the story in just the right way. I am looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.
